Cabin Site

Filed under: Log Cabin — DavidB @ 3:20 pm

Lots of people have been asking us to post pictures of the cabin site. Sadly, we are only recently beginning to take many. Although we often scoff at  all the photo sharers on the intertubes, it seems a good way to view this kind of thing.  There are too many pictures to post here on the blog.

Most of these were taken either just before or just after the bulldozer came and really leveled the site off well. We’ve been mainly clearing trees and sawing logs for the last month. We’ll be laying the foundation for the garage next week with any luck.

Bye Bye Baby

We sold More Cowbell a few days ago. Below is the final picture we took of the boat.

We just could not justify keeping the boat on the coast while we were living and working in Michigan. We’ll use the proceeds from the sale on building the log cabin. Or maybe a tractor. Haven’t decided yet.

The new owner seems very knowledgeble and has big plans for the boat. Bigger than our plans ever were. We wish him well.

Why Men Who Are Nearly 40 Should Not Take Up Mountain Biking

Filed under: Family & Friends — DavidB @ 6:53 pm

Take a look at what happened when I decided to take up mountain biking. Looks like the movie star career has hit yet another snag.

Apparently my bike handling skills are not what they once were. It’s like my mind remembers how to do it, but my body just won’t take action!

Oh. And this is the after picture. If you look closely, you can see the ten stitches that the ER tech used to patch up my face. The before picture was just too gruesome to publish. Don’t worry. I’m fine. Feel sorry for Dana. She has to be seen with me in public.
